If I only could

Chapter 8

"Can I join with you here?" He asked his sister when he sneak peek on her door.

"It's okay, come here." Andi said and let him in.

"So? Why did you let her in if you can't sleep in your own room?" His sister asked.

"Just let her spend some time with Ellaine, I am sure enough that she's just here because her daughter is one today." He said, since there is a couch in Andi's room he chose to lie down there.

"You can't sleep next to her?" She asked and he shook his head while staring at the ceiling.

"I can't.. I feel like, I don't trust her anymore. I thought I can give her a chance but when I see her.." He paused and look at his sister. "I don't feel the same when I am with her, She's the different version of my wife, I don't trust her anymore." He said.

"What about your daughter?" Andi asked and he sighed looking back at the ceiling.

"Ellaine will stay with me, If she want to see her daughter she can come over to visit her." He said. "She's the one who cheated so I'll decide for my own good of our daughter." He added.

"How about Jackie?" Again her sister asked.

"We're friends, as of now and It's nothing at all. If we could get in a relationship maybe, but not this time, I don't want her to think that she's just a rebound. I'll wait until this wound got heal." He said

"You don't love her anymore?" His sister asked referring to his wife.

"Maybe I still love her, that's why I chose to be friends with Jackie for now." He said.

"She told me that sh--"

"I heard everything you talked in a while. So you don't need to say it to me." He said. "Let's just deal with it and let her be. She's happy though, so let her be." He added.

"It's such a shame that Ellaine will grow up with incomplete family. She'll be the same like those celebrities children who got separated."

"We're famous people too, I'm just glad that we both decided to keep her image in private." He said. "At least no one will talk some shits about my daughter." He said.

"Now that you finally met her again, but I think you haven't talk to her yet just like what you planned." Andi said.

"There's no need too, Just seeing her make me realized how she really love that man over us. There's no need to explain. I don't need any explanations, she already made her choice." He said.

"So what are you planning now?" She asked.

"I'll find time to get a divorce." He said.

"What's that?" Andi asked and they both look at the direction of the door.

"Maybe something just fell off." He said when they heard a sound outside.

"I feel so tired, never realized that it's 3 am now, I have to sleep, wake me up at 5am." He said and his sister just nod.

He woke up by his sister shaking his shoulder, he look at his watch, it's just 4 am when he clearly see his sister he realized that she has his daughter.

"Why do you have her?" He asked and get up from the couch.

"She keep on crying so loud but her mother not even dare to open her eyes, oh she's sleeping like she is really tired but I fed her." She said and get Ellaine from her sister

"I'll go and see her." He said and walk out of the room.

As he got in his own room with his daughter in his arms, He saw his wife in a deep sleep. He shook his head.
